Description

Criminal Justice Policy provides a thematic overview of criminal justice policy and its relationship to the American criminal justice system.

Scholars, practitioners, and politicians continually debate the value of these policies in their evaluations of the current system.

As the nature of this subject involves a host of issues (including politics, public sentiment, research, and practice), the authors expertly highlight these concerns on criminal justice policy and address the implications for the overall system and society at large. This text is organized into three parts: Foundations of criminal justice policy focuses on the role of politics, best practices, and street level bureaucracy in criminal justice policy.

Criminal justice policy in action provides an analysis of fifteen different policy issues in criminal justice, such as immigration, drugs, mental health and capital punishment.

Each section begins with a basic summary of the policy, accompanied by a brief synopsis of the framing issues.

This brief, but informative summary, draws students’ attention to essential concepts and ideas, provides a roadmap for what they can expect to learn, and ensures continuity throughout the text.

The text concludes with a discussion about the future directions of criminal justice policy.
